Foreword / Theodore Zev Weiss -- Introduction / Sara R. Horowitz -- 1. Wartime sources of interpretation -- Another look at Hitler and the beginning of the Holocaust / Gerhard L. Weinberg -- Police force under occupation: Serbian State Guard and volunteers' corps in the Holocaust / Ana Antic -- Jewish mystical thought (Kabbalah) through the Holocaust / Gershon Greenberg -- "Realism"? the place of images in Holocaust studies / Paul B. Jaskot -- 2. Rethinking testimony -- Collaborative interpretation of survivors' accounts: a radical challenge to conventional practice / Henry Greenspan -- Incapable of revealing the event: Elie Wiesel and the reading of memoir-writing / Gary Weissman -- 3. Victimhood, identity, practice -- Political upheaval and shifting identities: Holocaust survivors in the Soviet Occupied Zone of Germany, 1945-1949 / Cora Granata -- The aftermath and after: memories of child survivors of the Holocaust / Joanna Beata Michlic -- From Nuremberg to Kigali: on the necessity and impossibility of post-atrocity justice / Valerie Hebert -- 4. Art -- Reflections, traditions, and representations from a painting studio / Matthew Girson.
The essays in the tenth volume of Lessons and Legacies offer a sense of the issues that run through current thinking about the Holocaust and ideas about the different ways we engage with a broad range of sources. New sources ranging from traditional archival finds to microhistories accessible via newer technology infuse Holocaust research. At the same time, the fields of Holocaust research and Jewish studies have an increasing impact upon other disciplines. Overall, the editor and writers find that the integration of insights, methodologies, critiques, and questions from psychology, literary studies, visual arts, and other fields with those of history, political science, and other social sciences sharpens the tools of analysis. The essays in this volume testify to the evolution of the field of Holocaust studies and also indicate a future direction.
